Comment on Green construction is no safer by plasterer wirral

I am interested in Green construction however – why did they think there would be a difference in health and safety? after all construction is still construction wheather you are using green methods or not you will still have the same on site risks.

Comment on Watchdog ‘interventions’ at deadly waste firms by Mrs Linda Krauesslar

Mrs Linda Krauesslar — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 11:59:32 +0000

I am the widow of Dennis Krauesslar ., Dennis went to the Biffa operated site to empty a few bags of garden rubbish. He never came back home. He was crushed to death by an enormous shovel loader at Pinchington Lane Recycling Centre Newbury , on 10th Sept 2007.

My life , and that of our daughter ( aged 17 at the time of his death ) has been destroyed forever, and subsequently my simple belief in justice has been smashed .
Biffa were fined £280,000 for not complying with Health & Safety procedures , in 2010 – such a small sum to a huge company . It would be like fining an ordinary person a fiver. This money goes back to the government I believe via Health & Safety.

I feel so angry & bitter and destroyed. I have to live without my wonderful husband, and forever “seeing” his body as I identified him. The sheer horror haunts me daily.
Biffa have never apologised to the family, even when they pleaded guilty in Reading Crown Court. I sat in the back of the Court , ignored.

I have needlessly lost my wonderful husband, watch our daughter suffering ever day: we have lost our home, and feel a great sense of injustice. How much longer can big companies continue to do this ? Forever I should think , with “British Justice “.

Comment on Can Samsung be green and cancerous? by Cai the phone guy

It's a serious problem when a company gets called "green" for having a decent energy policy and good PR without even examining their chemical policies and occupational health issues. Reverse Phone Lookup

I feel bad that South Korean companies are focusing more on productivity and profitability than the health of their employees. One bad thing for a company.
